It's a Date

[Nox]

Nox let the music carry them around the room. A second song played then a third and Nox couldn't make himself let go. But he really needed to go. The nagging feeling never left. He was fooling himself. He didn't date - relationships were not his thing. He'd never had time for them before. Now was different.

Elyse's body felt good against his. He wanted nothing more than to take her into the bedroom and treat her like a queen. His body reacted to the very thought, but then his mind screamed at him. Get out! The crushing loss of everyone he loved pushed down on his mood.

Nox whispered. "I should go."
He still didn't want to but he needed to. His heart raced and his breathing was shallow. He couldn't have a panic attack now. Fuck!
